I've watched a video of my two sons someone posted on YouTube at this location
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM1ZVCF0inA
I'm interested in keeping a copy of it. In IE the file may be stored in a temporary internet folder that I an copy and keep. But I don't know where it is stored in Safari or if I can keep it and play it again.
Can you help?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
You can send link to yourself via email by clicking the Share button just under the video.
They are not stored. They're streamed directly from the web to your screen. There are a couple of apps designed to capture those streams but I'm not sure it's legal, and it's not really a beginner task...
Thanks for the response, but your suggestion is only the link, not the actual file. I'm interested in the actual file. Doesn't Safari store a temporary copy of it somewhere?
Thanks...IE8 stores the file locally...I thought Safari might do the same thing
Hi Tom 🙂
Safari-Window-Activity will show you all of the files used by safari in a webpage and their sizes, the largest usually being a video. Highlight one & Option-Double-click it to download. In the case of flash video , that will often produce an .flv file, which you may need other software to play back - consider VLC
Easier perhaps is to try clicktoflash if you have Safari 5+, since as well as blocking flash until you want it, there's a right (ctrl) click 'download video' option. It's also available at https://extensions.apple.com/
where are youtube files stored in safari
